Very solid pecorino, especially on day 2. Crisp, refreshing, quite linear and direct but still very nice. Good value too. — 8 months ago

In the spectrum of what pecorino can do this go towards "i wanna be a SB" that honestly isn't my go to thing, but it does have its acolytes.
Its clean, well dress, pretty and fairly long.
Summery white. — 2 years ago

Lunaria – “Civitas” Pecorino 2024
Abruzzo – Italy 🇮🇹 | Biodynamic (Demeter), Organic, Vegan-Friendly

Overview
Crafted from 100% Pecorino, an indigenous grape of central Italy, “Civitas” is made by Lunaria under strict biodynamic and organic principles. Certified by Demeter, it represents both sustainability and authenticity, offering a pure expression of this versatile variety. (Educational note: Pecorino grapes, once nearly forgotten, are now celebrated for their high acidity, aromatic lift, and ability to pair with diverse cuisines.)

Aromas & Flavors
Stone fruits (peach, apricot, yellow plum) at the forefront, balanced with citrus zest, green apple, and subtle herbal tones. Secondary hints of almond and white flowers give lift.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with bright acidity and excellent balance. Crisp, textural, and refreshing, finishing long with a delicious, mineral-driven edge.

Food Pairings
Extremely versatile: pairs with seafood, pasta with clams, grilled chicken, risotto, or fresh cheeses. Also a great choice for vegetarian dishes.

Verdict
A delightful Pecorino — fresh, balanced, and crowd-pleasing. The 2024 Lunaria “Civitas” is not only delicious but also a model of sustainable, biodynamic winemaking. 🍷

Did You Know?
Pecorino means “little sheep” in Italian, as the grape often grew along sheep-grazing paths in Abruzzo and Marche. Once endangered, it’s now one of central Italy’s great white grape revival stories.

Hidden Gem 💎
An indigenous revival grape, made biodynamic, organic, and vegan-friendly — Lunaria’s 2024 “Civitas” is both authentic and progressive, a perfect teaching bottle. — 9 months ago
